Prepare Your Ingredients First
Steak mushroom Ingredients 
Flour The steak
Cook the steak for 2 minutes each side – or until nice and brown.
Then take out the steak – first saute the onions for 2 minutes – followed by the mushrooms, then the garlic and finally the bacon. All adds to preparing a really good base of flavors for the suace.
Add In Red Wine 
Put Back steak For Pressure Cooking
Add the wine and use it to deglaze the bowl – then for about 2-3 minutes let the wine reduce before adding in the beef stock and putting back the steak.
Now put on the lid and pressure cook for 30 minutes with 10 minutes natural release.
Add The Cream 
Put back the Steak
After pressure cooking – take out the steak and further reduce the liquid – by about 30% – then add in the cream and continue reducing. Also, add in the butter- about 1 tablespoon.
Then when the sauce has reduced – taste it and season if it needs it. Then put back the steak to let it absorb the flavors.
